Question 826380: I want to make 2 gallons of a drink that is 60% cranberry juice and 40% apple juice. How many gallons of 100% apple juice do I need to mix with an 80% cranberry/20% apple blend to achieve this result? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
volumes:
x = 100% apple juice
y = 80/20 cranberry/apple juice
---
cranberry:
60*2 = 0x + 80y
---
apple:
40*2 = 100x + 20y
---
linear system:
---
120 = 80y
80 = 100x + 20y
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
80y = 120
100x + 20y = 80
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:

solution:
x = 100% apple juice = 0.5 gallons
y = 80/20 cranberry/apple juice = 1.5 gallons
